Propose a change

Genetic Technology (Precision Breeding) Act 2023

Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

As published

13 Issue of precision bred animal marketing authorisation

(1) As soon as practicable after receiving a report from the welfare advisory body under section 12(2) in relation to a relevant animal, the Secretary of State must— (a) decide whether to issue a precision bred animal marketing authorisation in respect of the relevant animal, (b) issue the authorisation if the decision is to do so, and (c) notify the notifier— (i) of the decision, and (ii) if the decision is not to issue an authorisation, of the reasons for the decision. (2) The Secretary of State may issue a precision bred animal marketing authorisation only if satisfied— (a) that the notifier, in making the animal welfare declaration, has had regard to— (i) the traits identified by the notifier as precision bred traits, and (ii) the risks identified by the notifier as risks to the health or welfare of the animal or its qualifying progeny that could reasonably be expected to result from those traits, and (b) that the notifier has taken reasonable steps to identify those traits and risks and has made an appropriate assessment of those risks.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
